Default Anyone in Orlando have an engine for mock-up?

Hello all, I am looking for an LS1 engine for mock-up/fabrication purposes that I could borrow at the end of the month (Sept) through the beginning of oct. All I would need is the block and a set of heads, and any of the LS engines would do 4.8, 5.3, 6.0, etc. engine can be damaged as long as the mounting points are intact. I am bringing my car down from PA and sending my LQ4engine to the maching shop for a build, and while it is there, I was hoping to be able to have the fabrication work done on a spare engine to reduce the down-time. Forum member 2JZFC will be doing the fab work...
Thanks in advance, mike

Thanks for the reply :-)
The car will be in east Orlando, near Bithlo (actually Chuluota - if I spelled that correctly)...
Either one would work for me. I will be down at the end of the month 24th-25th or so if you would be willing to allow me to hold one hostage for a short time to mock up mounts and plumbing...

Should be close by. I am in Pickett Downs off Fort Christmas Rd. Probably bumped into each other several times at the track
